Chitosan oligosaccharides use in feed:
Chitosan oligosaccharides can be used in feed for pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, shrimps, etc. and have the following functions:
1. Promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in animal intestines
Most of the animals have no enzymes to digest chito-oligosaccharides. Chitosan oligosaccharides can reach the hindgut intact, and most of them are used by beneficial bacteria in the intestine to promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria; neutral bacteria and harmful bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella, etc.) cannot use chitosan oligosaccharides and will be inhibited by chito-oligosaccharides, thereby playing the role of beneficial bacteria proliferation factor and improving the gastrointestinal health of animals.
2. Adsorption and removal of intestinal pathogens
Pathogens (Escherichia coli, Salmonella, etc.) have a protein-like structure on the cell surface or villi, called lectins, which can bind to receptors on the cell surface of the intestinal lining and adhere to the intestinal epithelium for reproduction. The receptor on the surface of intestinal lining cells is a short-chain branched carbohydrate structure, so chitosan oligosaccharides will competitively bind to the lectin on the surface of pathogenic cells to prevent pathogenic bacteria from intestinal epithelium Adhesion, so that no nutrients can be obtained, and the ability to cause disease is lost.
3. Promote animal growth
Improve the structure of animal intestinal mucosa, improve the function of digestive organs, increase the villi height and crypt depth of jejunum and ileum, thereby facilitating the absorption of nutrients; promote the absorption of calcium, phosphorus and vitamins, increase daily weight gain and feed conversion rate, improve Meat quality.
4. Improve animal immunity
Chito-oligosaccharides can improve the specific and non-specific immune function of the body by stimulating the activity of immune cells and promoting the secretion of immune factors, enhance the body's disease resistance, alleviate the poor prognosis of sick livestock and poultry, and reduce the mortality of animals.
5. Protection of animal organs
Chitosan oligosaccharides have strong adsorption, can absorb harmful heavy metals and other mycobacterium in the body and be excreted from the body, reducing the damage of the liver to the medicine. At the same time, it can stimulate the absorption of trace elements in the liver, kidney, spleen and stomach, improve the index of organs such as thymus and spleen, and protect the growth of livestock and poultry.
6. Alternative or partial replacement of antibiotics
Compared with antibiotics, it has the advantages of no drug resistance, no drug residue, no damage or killing beneficial bacteria.
